A SOLEMN OATH!

Sunrise early morning the eyes opened to see its light

You stretch your hands and legs, turn around to get up

Daily routine rites and regular exercises for a day work 

Physical or mental efforts make all tired; you need rest!

 

Days you work hard till sunset, relax and rest at nights

Look after your body, clean home and personal hygiene

Fresh air, environment and surroundings are kept clean. 

Cleanse hands often, no wasting water for any reason?

 

Nature and friendly creatures, you must be proud of all 

Family is an integral part of life respect their feelings

Love each and every human being, poor or rich alike 

Protect Nature to prevent calamities and destructions. 

 

Take a solemn oath for total peace, holding hands with all

Help people; elderly parents, siblings, kids and disabled 

Be courteous, ignore silly mistakes, feed kids and poor. 

Simple life; no luxury, only essentials; nothing wasted

 

Young or old; take care of others and make a better world

Praise folks with open hearts, warm hands or just a smile!

Plan and go; road signs posted, and follow them at all times.

The future is bright, have good health, a long and happy life.

 

Kids loved, youth made friends and elderly duly respected

Great people admired, sacrifices rewarded and be kind to all

Love thy neighbour, be friendly with all and Nature protected,

Commonwealth and prosperity should be shared to enjoy life.
